Things Better Left Unsaid

Chapter 8: Things Better Left Unsaid

A/N: Okay sorry it’s been such a long time since I last updated this story…but here’s the latest chapter…hope it doesn’t disappoint. Please read and review!!

Disclaimer: Nope…still not the owner of POTC or my precious Jack Sparrow. Unfortunately they still belong to Disney…so I still make no money from the stories that I write!

Jack closed the door to his cabin quietly as he walked out onto the main deck of the Pearl. He had left Elizabeth sleeping soundly in his bed. She was still naked from their earlier lovemaking with only the blanket draped across her body hanging very low on her hips just above her backside. Her face had been pressed into the pillow with only the right side of it visible to him and her small breasts were pressed into the mattress as she slept. They had made love more than once last night and it had felt like a dream to him as he thrust inside her. Jack couldn’t seem to wipe off the silly grin that was plastered across his face as he marched up the stairs onto the wheel deck. Gibbs was at the helm alongside Barbossa who was looking out across the ocean through his spyglass. Seeing Barbossa at the helm of his ship made his smile melt into a scowl. Gibbs noticed Jack and nudged Barbossa who lowered his spyglass and gave a short nod to Jack.

“Morning Jack.”

“Aye…morning sir…it’s a beautiful morning isn’t it?”

“It was…until I found him at the helm of MY ship.”

Barbossa rolled his eyes as he shoved his spyglass back into his coat pocket and turned to face Jack.

“Relax Jack…m’ only keeping Gibbs company…I’ve no intention of stealing yer precious Pearl. At least not at the moment anyway.”

He gave a low chuckle at the scowl that Jack flashed in his direction. Glancing past Jack Barbossa frowned making Jack’s brow wrinkle in confusion. Casting a quick glance over his shoulder he saw nothing and turned back to face Barbossa.

“What are ye looking for?”

“Where’s the girl?”

“Elizabeth is asleep.”

“In yer cabin?”

“That’s right…in MY cabin.”

“Jack…m’ not sure it’s such a good idea for the girl t’ be sleeping in yer cabin.”

“An’ being that I’m the captain of this vessel m’ quite sure that I really don’t care what ye think Hector.”

“Jack yer taking advantage of her pain…bedding her while she’s grieving for the boy. It ain’t right!”

“Jus’ when did ye ever care bout what’s right or wrong?”

“M’ not completely heartless Jack! That girl is sick with grief over losing him an’ ye have no right t’ use that t’ yer advantage.”

“So ye think m’ jus’ using her for me own personal pleasure eh?”

“I do. Tell me m’ wrong then Jack.”

“If ye want me t’ tell ye that I didn’t sleep with Elizabeth then m’ afraid I can’t. But she came t’ me Hector…so I didn’t take advantage of her.”

“She came t’ ye because she is lost without the boy Jack! She’s gone t’ a place where she can’t be rescued! An’ this fool’s journey t’ Singapore is jus’ that…a fool’s journey! Yer counting on the impossible Jack.”

“Fool’s journey is it? Yer wrong Hector…m’ going t’ save Elizabeth.”

“An’ if ye can’t what then? Jack ye can’t guarantee her that! What’ll ye do with her if she’s broken beyond repair?”

“Not going t’ happen mate…Elizabeth is stronger than ye give her credit for.”

“So yer banking on this witch of yers in Singapore t’ bring her back from the brink of insanity. Jack…have ye fallen in love with her?”

“Maybe. An’ what if I have? It’s none of yer business.”

“Yer in love with her already! Yer so in love with her that it’s clouding yer judgment with unreasonable hopes! Yer a fool Jack Sparrow.”

“A fool I may be…but m’ not letting my emotions get the better of me mate. Elizabeth will be freed from her pain over losing the whelp.”

“An’ then what…she’ll give herself t’ ye out of gratitude?”

“Not gratitude mate…love…she’ll give herself t’ me because she loves me.”

“An’ if she doesn’t fall in love with ye Jack…how does that figure in t’ yer little plan? Or have ye even considered the possibility that the boy may be the only one she ever loves?”

“Are ye always so negative Hector? There never is a positive side with ye is there?”

“M’ jus’ realistic Jack. An’ with ye there’s never any room for reality. Elizabeth has been broken beyond repair Jack an’ ye need t’ see that!”

Jack grabbed Barbossa by the collar of his coat and yanked him closer until they were so close that their noses were touching. Speaking in a low voice Jack hissed back at him venomously.

“Don’t say another word bout Elizabeth being permanently broken! Do ye understand? Cause if ye do I’ll see t’ it m’ self that yer keelhauled the length of the Pearl!”

Gibbs shivered from his place at the helm as the unpleasant thought of being keelhauled flashed through his head. Jack released his grip on Barbossa’s collar shoving him back into Gibbs as he did. Barbossa shook his head as he watched Jack storm down the stairs and head towards the lower decks. No doubt he was heading for the hold to drown himself in a bottle of rum. Glancing at Gibbs Barbossa spoke in a low voice.

“I fear that Jack has lost all grip on reality where that girl is concerned. It’s going t’ break him when he loses her.”

“Aye…but some things are jus’ better left unsaid sir.”

Barbossa nodded as he mulled over Gibbs’ words. True as that may be he just couldn’t stand idly by and watch as Jack set himself up to be destroyed when he realized that Elizabeth was beyond his capabilities to help.

A/N: Okay short chapter I know…but I just had to add some more conflict between Jack and Barbossa in there. Hope you liked it…please read and review!!
